Marbles
Picked Up and Lost

When John's denied a starring role,
    he tells us not to play:
To hell with the economy,
    we'll all be voting 'Nay'.

As you sit freezing in the dark,
    think what our Johnny did.
He called for party votes against
    your infrastructure grid.

Why worry that some snow and ice
    won't let you heat your home
If tax breaks we give Citi might
    earn points for trips to Rome?

Or worry that Bin Laden who
    we Bushie's left in power
Also could disrupt your grid
    and TV dinner hour?

It's more important we preserve
    our ideology
Than that you get to keep your home
    and damn HD TV.

At least that's what John Boehner says
    and we're convinced he knows
Despite the fact each time he speaks
    his nose, like Bushie's, grows.
